    Paget's disease rarely develops into sarcoma, affecting older men primarily in long bones. This aggressive cancer has a poor prognosis, with treatments like amputation and radiotherapy offering limited success.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Oncology
    • Rheumatology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Paget's disease of bone is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal bone remodeling.
    • Sarcomatous degeneration is a rare but severe complication of Paget's disease.
    • This study analyzes 12 cases of Paget's disease with sarcomatous transformation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the clinical characteristics, radiographic findings, and outcomes of sarcomatous degeneration in Paget's disease.
    • To compare the authors' experience with existing literature on this rare complication.
    • To determine the frequency and risk factors associated with sarcomatous change in Paget's disease.

    Summary:

    • The study identified 12 cases of sarcomatous degeneration in 311 Paget's disease patients (frequency <1%).

  • Degeneration occurred in patients over 50, predominantly in men, affecting the femur or humerus, with pain as the primary symptom.
  • Radiography revealed cortical destruction, while histology confirmed osteosarcomas, giant-cell sarcomas, or reticulosarcomas. Survival rates were poor, with disappointing treatment outcomes.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the aggressive nature and poor prognosis of sarcomatous degeneration in Paget's disease.
    • Emphasizes the importance of vigilant monitoring and early detection in patients with Paget's disease.
    • Suggests limitations in current treatment modalities for this rare oncological complication.
